Re: Mirena removed almost 2 months ago. Advice needed, please

I have no doubt the Mirena can do to someone what it's done to you (both of you)! My symptoms were a bit different (anxiety was mild but I had most of the symptoms of MS), and my hormones were considered "fine" by my Dr. I had several hundreds of dollars of lab work done, plus a brain MRI, and it was all normal. I was a mess for many months, almost incapacitated and in bed much of the time for the first year, but I felt definitely better every year. I am 3 1/2 years post-removal and doing much better. Many people less time to recover.

There is a huge array of symptoms that can come from the IUD. Some can pop up AFTER removal. It can be frightening to feel worse or no better after the IUD; it seems you should be feeling better - after all, the device is gone, right? But the imbalances created can take time to recover, even when it's gone. You can have good weeks/months and bad ones. But generally, there is improvement over time.

So hang in there, and hang on. It will get better, and having it out was definitely the right thing to do.

Keep posting!
